February Follower of the Month: Carrie of Gluten Free Fabulous

Our February Follower of the Month is Carrie of Gluten Free Fabulous. She is sharing her asparagus salad recipe with us. Carrie has a great attitude and wonderful recipes using lots of fresh seasonal ingredients. You will want to visit her even if you don’t eat gluten free.

Asparagus Salad

I’ve always liked asparagus, however I either grill it – or broil it. I wanted to find a way to have it raw and taste delicious, and I’m quite happy with how this turned out! It’s fresh, simple and healthy. Asparagus is packed full of vitamin K, and fiber. After switching to a gluten free diet I had to become more aware of fiber and where I was getting it from. The bell pepper adds vitamin C and vitamin A, and adds some great flavor.

Wash and remove the bottom of the asparagus stems. Thinly slice the stalks and the tips and place into a large bowl. Dice up the red pepper, removing the seeds, and add to the bowl. Dice up the onion real fine, and add to the bowl. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top and add the red wine vinegar, and a bit of olive oil (I used about 2 tablespoons) combining well. When plating add the feta cheese and a bit more salt, pepper, olive oil if you like.

Makes 2-3 large salads or 4-6 side salads. Feel free to skip the feta for a dairy free salad.

Thank you. I love Carrie’s recipes! She comes up with some really good ones. I hope you have checked out her blog.

While Espirational isn’t specifically a gluten free blog we do live gluten free and I post an occasional recipe. I do have a gluten free recipe on my Gluten Free Good Life page (http://espirational.com/gluten-free-life/) as well as a link to my new eBook The Gluten Free Good Life.
